Brewers Quay, Weymouth, Dorset
This former brewery site has been converted to a complex including a museum, shops and a public house. The main building dates from 1903 / 1904. Brewing took place on this site from 1252 until the 1980s. There were 3 separate breweries. In 1742 a brewery was owned by the Flew family which was sold to William Devenish in 1824. The Davis Brewery closed in the early 19th century. Groves brewery continued until 1960 when it was incorporated with Devenish. The late 20th century adaptation of the buildings was a co-operation between the Local Authority and the owners, as part of a general up-grading of the whole area. The buildings are a vital reminder of a major industry in Weymouth for many centuries.
